Brake discs Zimmermann or STOPTECH

I have been driving multiple BMWs for almost 20 years and have always used Zimmermans as replacement rotors. I will keep buying them.

The online vendors offer Zimmerman/Akebono kits, I installed one on the front of my E92 and brake dust is nearly eliminated. The Akebono Ceramic pads might have slightly less bite but I'm happy with them.

OE is likely ATE or Pagid. Zimmermann is totally 100% fine OEM alternative.

For fun daily driving, I’ve got stainless steel brake lines, stoptech rotors (slotted in front) and Carbotech pads that I absolutely love. Highly recommended!

Zimmermann's Coat Z rotors are excellent. I've used them on many BMWs with no issues.

I personally have the Zimmerman Rotors, and Akebono pads. Great, cheap setup.

Zimmerman-Akebono combination is blizz

I use Zimmermans too & EBC red stuff pads much less dust then standard & nicer bite

At ~4,000 miles, I bought a set of StopTech (front) drilled+slotted rotors (non-PP) for my GTI and kept my OEM brake pads. Everything was fine up until recently (~2,000 miles later). I now hear a high pitch "squealing" noise at very low speeds. This happens right when I'm about to come to a complete stop (1-3 mph).

I’m getting issues with rotors warping on my 2002 E53. I bought Zimmermann smooth rotors couple of years ago and they’ve been lathed couple of times now. At one point I had to replace Zimmermann pads too as they were excreting glue or something that caused “falling stars” on the rotor faces.
